System: NetBSD garlique.algebras.org 4.99.10 NetBSD 4.99.10 (GGM_ACPI) #0: Fri Feb 16 10:37:13 EST 2007 ggm@garlique.algebras.org:/data/Build/obj/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GGM_ACPI i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:

	Attach an ath card to a Linksys WRT54G base-station with
	a non-broadcast SSID, and a 128 bit WEP key. go into ACPI
	sleep mode, then on re-awake, although you can DHCP an
	address, your arp cache never has complete entries, and you
	have no functional 'route to host' for the entire local net.
>How-To-Repeat:

	as above. I reset my base to non_WEP, and this problem went
	away, the network comes back fine.


>Fix:
	NFI. I wonder if the ACPI restore-state matrix is excluding
	something from the state recovery, or if in userspace its
	neccessary to clear and re-bind the WEP state. If WEP has
	session-keys, possibly it has to be a clean re-bind to avoid
	re-use of a stale key (this is hypothesis, I really have NFI)

 sleep/wake.

 I've done some more debug after discussing this problem with 
 Steve Bellovin. If I pre-load all 4 WEP keyslots in the ath card with
 the same WEP key, using the command:

 ifconfig ath0 nwkey 1:foobar,foobar,foobar,foobar

 and then do the ACPI sleep/wake, when I come back from sleep, there is
 only one WEP key in an ifconfig display instead of all 4, but, the key
 works.

 I think this shows that some basic state for the card isn't
 being saved cleanly across the ACPI sleep/wake, or that if not
 initialized, the default value isn't correctly saved.

 I'm going to play with setting the explicit keynumber on wake, and with
 using the in-card WEP keystore too later on.

  cheers

Is this still an issue with the new open source HAL?

 the IBM laptop is on long loan and I can't test this ACPI change.

 I suggest marking this closed. If/When I can get it back I will re- 
 test and only reopen if I find the problem still exists
